LAMBORGHINI PRODUCES SURGICAL MASKS AND MEDICAL SHIELDS TO HELP FIGHT THE PANDEMIC

Automotive leader
Lamborghini is converting departments of its super sports car production plant
in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy in order to produce surgical masks and
protective plexiglass shields. The masks will be donated to the
Sant’Orsola-Malpighi Hospital in Bologna to be used in the fight against the
COVID-19 pandemic.

Work on this solidarity initiative will be carried out by personnel of the saddlery that produce the interiors and specialty customization for Lamborghini cars, producing 1,000 masks a day. The medical shields will be realized in 200 units a day, using 3D printers within the carbon fiber production plant and the Research and Development department.

The activity has been
approved and supported by the Emilia-Romagna Region, and is taking place in
collaboration with the University of Bologna. The Department of Medical and
Surgical Sciences will oversee validation testing of the medical devices made
by Lamborghini, prior to their delivery to hospital.

Stefano Domenicali,
Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, comments: “During this emergency,
we feel the need to make a concrete contribution. The S. Orsola-Malpighi
Hospital is an institution with which we have had a collaborative relationship
for years, through both professional consultancy in promoting programs to
protect our workers’ health, and in research projects. We will win this battle
together by working in union, supporting those who are at the forefront of
fighting this pandemic every day.”
